It was the middle of winter but the weather came to the party and we were rewarded with crispy blue skies and vast horizons (and not too many other tourists!)

Its all about, well, riding forever. I pulled in my photographer friend (and motorcycle geek) David Hamilton and we tagged alongside the film and production company Sauce. We had five different riders on different bikes, as well as several cars (and a truck), recreating various scenarios that motorcyclists need to think about- overtaking, following distance, cornering, all that stuff. Heres a very small handful of the thousands of images we shot.

Celebrating the abundant harvest, it is an absolute riot of colour, pagaentry and ritual (and fun too of course!). There’s dancing, a beauty pageant, rides, food, singing and an interesting ball tossing ritual which is apparently a way for potential suitors to show interest in each other.

The Hmong are an ethnic group of people from the mountainous regions of Laos, Thailand, China, Myanmar and Vietnam and there are several tribes that live in Laos, each with their own unique customs and amazing costumes.

It made our kiwi barbecues and New Years parties back home pale somewhat in comparison!

The people had finished work on the tea plantations as well as school for the day and were talking on the roadside, preparing meals in their homes, and the kids were playing.
